    Cultural Competency

    As a person who grew up in Mexico, and moved to the United States 6 years ago, I believe my cultural competence has allowed me to develop personal characteristics that will enable me to understand patients from any culture.

From this experience, I have been able to demonstrate I have the attributes to be part of a diverse group. I have developed competencies…

After attending different types of counseling in different settings for myself and family members it became clear to me that addiction doesn’t discriminate. Addiction doesn’t care where you came from, who you came to be, or what your dreams are.…

    Working Relationships In Psychology

    Working Relationships It is estimated that fifty-eight percent of workplace aggressors are females and they usually prey on other females a majority of the time (Crothers et al., 2009, p. 101-102).

The actors of aggression can be classified into three categories: queen bees, middle bees, and victims. A queen bee is described as a female that is always protecting her status in her interactions with other females, allowing her to be able to be the first to attack should a threat be recognized (Culver, 2007, p. 164).…
